ly, like the horse trader, had met
Alex at some other place, or, by mis-
take thought he was answering Ru-
fus. Turning from legal to society
matters,we found goodly company
at the Springs, though the tendency
seems to be in favor of the quiet Of
the private boarding house and
cheaper rates, than hotel menu wait
ers, ballroom and social gaiety. So
it goes. But it should go better at
Berkeley, as it is the oldest estab-
lished watering place in the country.
The tide of improvement has swept
remorselessly onward and the stage
coach and modest cottages and plain
hotel of half a century ago are now
kept empty by lightning express
trains and grand accommodation Of
new resorts. With, a railroad there
should be from one to two thousand
guests at these famous baths with
constant stream of arriving and
departing visitors. The hotel and
bath buildings need undermining.
Now let the country folks unite with
the town people on the r. r. sub
scription. The money will be spent
in your midst. The assessable ba-
sis will be increased. New build
ings and increased wealth appear
Produce, cross-ties and timber can
be sold there instead of hauling to
Sir Johns Run. You cannot get
out without patronizing the B. & 0.
at one of it's stations anyhow. Do
as well by Berkeley Springs as has
Hampshire County with your sister
town of Romney. Be as enterpris-
ing as your adjoiningcouhties. Step
to the front and march forward and
prosperity will attend you.
